disposed OF It pretty cfectualiy. though very well
informed rcopie stu hesitate to sit down TO ain-
ner thirteen in number.
The o1gin of the superstition appears 10 DC
evident enough There were thirteen present at
the Last Supper OF our Lord, and popular lmasi-
nation thence derived the framework OF the De-
lief which has come down, certainly from the
Middle Ages. and probably from much earlier
period. No doubt the popular belief in the I'M
thickness Of Friday may be traced to s'miiar
source. the Crucifxion having been supposed 10
take place on that day of the week, and so the
day being regarded as overshadowed and ili-iated
forever more. Some years ago. by the way
determined attempt was made by ship-owner
in England to do for the reputation OF Friday

undertaken to do for the reputation OF the num-
Der thirteen. A ships keel was laid on Friday;
she was finished on Friday and launched on
Friday; her captains name was Friday and she
sailed on Ler first voyage upon Friday. So Tar
the defiance of the superstition was as complete
rs possible, but inasmuch the ship built and
launched and started under these peculiar aus
pieces was never heard OF again, the effect Of
the experiment was not exactly what had been
anticipated. Let us hope that the Caldwell III.
Colt will never serve thus to illustrate popular
superstition, like wtchs prayer. backward.

roprJcy WHEAT SUPPLIES

Americans who do not understand why
wheat is so cheap, though the crop here is
comparatively small, certainly 21,OOO'OOO
bushels less than that of last year, may ind
an answer in the statistics Of the international
corn market at Vienna, received by the last
mail from Europe. These reports have been
prepared for many years with the greatest
care and in commercial circles abroad are
trusted even moro than official statements
They show that the yield in 1887 has been
remarkably large, and, says "Thc London
Economists" Vienna correspondent, "but for
the decline in the production OF tho United
States and India, prices would probably have
fallen very heavily. Even under existing
conditions prices remained low and trade tho
first day was slow"
The Weld in Austria is reported at II per
cent above the average and in Hungary 20
per cent II is estimated that Austro- Hungary
will have 33 coo, 900 bushels to export. In
Bavaria tho crop is about 90 per cent above
the averages in Great Britain and Ireland 20
pcr cent; in Servia 40 per cent; in Little
Wallacha 25 per cent; in Central Russia
i8 per cent; in Cbcrson 90 per cent, other
Russian districts ranging from 80 to 100 rcck-
100 rs inc average ihc yi'iu ~" c"''
zcrland is rated as 40, IN France loo' In
Holland 1O2, in Denmark and Sweden 100
and in Italy 80. The wheat crop OF lndia Is
reported as $780, 900 tons against 7,T39,OOO
last year, but exports from that country de-
pend largely OH rates made by railroads and
dealers.
This country has probably about 43l' 10000
bushels. estimating from the last report OF
tho bureau, besides about 4S,OO0,OOo carried
over from last year. The quantity exported
in july of wheat and -four was equal to
1858, $50 bushels of wheat and exports IN
August were also large, but decline has been
observed as the new supplies abroad arc as
surcd With ordinary consumption for food
and seed this country has on hand surplus
larger than was exported last year, While the
improvement in foreign crops warrants ex-
pcctation of a smaller demand from abroad.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Six hundred and ninety-three New DIX
Rcnubhcans will meet in convention to-day
Included in the number are many OF the lore
most representatives of the party Ihese
men come together to discharge grave puoiic
duties-to select candidates for the State
offices that are to be filled this fall, to re-
affirm the Republican position on the VI'ai
nolitical issues Of the day, and TO seieCt
committee to which shall be entrusted inc
management of the campaign and party ahalrs
during the ensuing year. Ihese are "e'eh'y
RESPONSIBILITIES, and in view OF the wlsdolh'
experience and patriotic purpose which cannot
fail to dominate the convention, there Is every
reason to expect that they will be met In a
manner which will give general satisfaction.
There is much in the political situation 70
stimulate the Republicans of New-York. Inc
record of the two parties during the year
proyes, what has so often been proved before
that the Democratic party is stumbling
block in the path OF genuine REFORM ana tna'
those who aim at civic progress must JOIN
hands with the Republicans. The great re-
form measures of last wnter-the Vedder BILL
tho Crosby bill and the rest-werc persist
entlv opposed by practically solid Democratic
minority, and were killed by Democratic
Governor Those bills were the Republican
response to the peoples demand for leglsia-
ton calculated to promote the cause oil good
morals. low taxes and wholesome prosperity.
The Democracy, proposing no alternative re-
form measures set their faces steadily against
the hills which had been carefully drafted by
the Republicans and Endorsed by public senti-
meut in all sections of the State. TO state
these facts is to indicate one of the principal
grounds upon which the Republican party
rests its hope of success this fall. 1t has
served the people at the expense OF the rum
power lust as the Democracy has served inc
rum power at the expense of the people. An
other cogcnt reason for Republican confidence
is found in the fact that the course of legis-
lation this year was on the whole wise and
malicious, and that the expenditures were so
carefully looked after that a reduction in the
tax-rate was effected. And back OF party
records for 1887 is the general record. This
also helps the Republicans. The books in The
Controllers office at Albany show that New
York has saved money under Republican adj
ministration and has been plundcrcd under
democratic administration. This is history.
There was a period Of four years, while Demo-
Gratis were in complete control Of the Exccu-
tive and legislative departments of our State
Government that the appropriations exceeded
the revenues by over eight and quarter
million dollars.
In view of these considerations it is con-
fdcnt convention that meets to-day. TO de-
| serve success is half the battle. The party's
representatives at Saratoga can be depended
upon to take such action and only such as
will still further strengthen united and car
nest party. They realize that to meet the
best expectations in New-York this year is tc
pave the way for victory on the broader
| field of 1888.
